    Hesitation on gear change

    Had this in auto mode and it was only ever 1st to 2nd and only when the car was warm, after being parked. Turned out it is a known issue and is covered under an Audi software update TPI revision 2054056/3. Had mine updated at the dealer at problem gone.

    Facelift Metal fragments on fuel filter.

    Mmmm, just did a search myself and while the theory of coming from an external source like the fuel station gets discussed in several places it seems it’s also possible that it can be a HPFP failing issue. - https://forums.tdiclub.com/index.php?threads/fuel-filter-change-metal-flakes.351809/

    Installed a BMS turbo inlet pipe, 10 min job for much improved the throttle response at low revs, boost feels like it hits earlier as well. Very happy.

    Car covered in white overspray

    I would try a clay bar first, they take off all manner of contaminants including hardened tree sap. You may still need to use a polish but it can be less abrasive.

    New Audi S3 FL Dash Buzz

    I just fixed mine which was coming from near within the dash near the round drivers vent. It occurred between about 2300 and 2700 rpm and would occur in either dynamic or auto. If you pull out the vent you will see a square plastic tube that feeds the air to the vent. This is thin walled and...

    Not noisy at all and at least as good as OEM on initial bite.

    What have you done to your 8V today?

    Hey, SmurfS3, are you still stock? If so, did you notice any difference with the CTS Turbo inlet pipe? i.e is it worth it?

    Facelift Ceramic Brake Pads

    I had ATE ceramics on my BMW 3 series coupe and are great in terms of low dust. Braking was equal to OE but never had a chance to push them too hard to see how they handled a spirited drive.
